RX Lenses

[testcodes]

I went for the Fives Squared Grey Smoked frames with the Polarised Black Iridium and paid £250 for them

so around $400 USD, yep i was looking around as well and got the cost around the same. expensive but I bet they're way worth it.

they better be worth it lol....and I can imagine they will be.

In the UK from an Optician you are looking at £350/$540 so I was even looking at purchasing from the US at $400 mark and shipping them over then I found a great UK site selling them and actually the company is based about 30 miles from me so if anything goes wrong they are easy to get hold of

I use Boots and am on their contact lens scheme, which means I get half price frames, so a pair of thin lens prescription crosslinks cost £160.

Well they finally arrived



They had to be sent back to Oakley to be redone as when they arrived there was a scratch on the lens, all sorted now.

The lenses are not as dark as I thought they would be but having never owned a pair of Oakley I'm surprised at how natural the vision is through them.

The lenses are probably not the problem. Grey smoke is a semi translucent frame meaning you're getting light leakage through the frame itself, making the lenses less effective at blocking the sun. If you put them in an opaque frame they'd be much darker.

Thanks mate, that's good to know

Well I've now settled on the frames and lenses and the order is been placed today

One more question though....Oakley Prescription lenses do they have a identifier on them confirming that they are Oakley made lenses?

Thanks

YES THEY HAVE A LARGE "O" ENGRAVED ON THE LENS, AND TWO SMALLER O'S ON EACH LENS ETCHED BY THE DIGITAL SURFACING AND CNC MANUFACTURING AT OAKLEY RX.

Sorry to hijack the thread. Are those with genuine Oakley lenses? If so that's a steal!
